Xilinx Inc. has announced the expansion of its 16-nanometer field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) including the world's largest device with 9 million system logic cells.
With 35 billion transistors, the VU19P provides high logic density and I/O count on a single device, making it the largest in the Virtex UltraScale+ family. The VU19P can enable emulation and prototyping of ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits) and system-on-chip (SoC) technologies including test, measurement, compute, networking, aerospace and defense-related applications.
Other features of the VU19O include up to 1.5 terabits per second of DDR4 memory bandwidth and up to 4.5 terabits per second of transceiver bandwidth as well as 2,000 user I/Os.
The VU19P has an extensive set of debug, visibility tools and IP for design and validate next-generation applications and technologies. Hardware and software co-validation allows for developers to use software and implement custom features before physical parts are available.
